It is addicting and fun. Although, one small bug is that when I watch the videos for free coins, when I exit the store menu, the coins I have just earned are gone and the ads watched were for nothing, unless I don't exit the menu. ### 2/5 — meh *2016-04-09, version 1.0.3* only downloaded so when I die I can say well that escalated quickly. satisfying the first few times you die but the game is pretty boring so meh ### 3/5 — @_trillxstrebel on IG *2016-03-01, version 1.0.3* This app take hella concentration. The 10,000 points Kanye mentioned seems a tad impossible, but I can't speak for everyone on that. It's not the funnest game but it helps pass time. ### 3/5 — Yeezys *2016-02-26, version 1.0.3* I'm getting this game for free Yeezys ### 5/5 — Yeezy *2016-02-26, version 1.0.3* Thank you 💕💕💕💕🐍®. ### 3/5 — ✊🏼 *2016-02-25, version 1.0.3* Yeezus brought me here ### 5/5 — I love you kAnye *2016-02-25, version 1.0.3* Jelly Blanco supports Kanye west ### 5/5 — idk *2016-02-25, version 1.0.3* I just want yeezys ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-02-25, version 1.0.3* It's just a lame copy of another game.
